On A Clear Night, You Can Smell For Miles [sw03]

by: Funny Cry Happy

Publication date: 0000-00-00 00:00:00

Usage: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike

Topics: Experimental

The second full-length from Brooklyn's Funny Cry Happy. Infectiously surreal folk strums set atop an ever-shifting psychedelic sound field of bells, banjos, birds, radio static, recordings made in a tunnel under a highway in Boulder, reconstructed trumpets, accordion, uke, dubbed snares, organ drones, the ever-present toy piano, and whatever else was lying around. The kitchen sink was left off this time (though was included on FCH's self-titled 2002 debut).
